The guardian was taken to an interview room where he shared just about anything he knew about the virus. The guardian was wiped out after the interview and went to their room where he and his friends would be sleeping. The room was big for a room of five, big side window, a shower, and a mini library. The guardian opened the door and crashed on his bed "woof am drained."

"yeah must have been for you since you haven't rested for a few days," Po said while reading her book. "So where is everyone else?" the Guardian turned on his side to face po. "Dipsy is exploring the base, Tinky is training with some rookies, and I don't know where Laa la is" the guardian looked a bit surprised, catching Po's attention.

"What's wrong, guardian?". The guardian told Po his surprise "well I thought you were exploring the base with dipsy". Po set her book down and laid down on her bed "well I have seen one of these bases before, and after exploring one it's like you explored all of them. The library provides some information I didn't know". "Ah," said the guardian.

"You know guardian, I have trusted and I do but whenever I think of how you came to us and somehow knew what was going to happen always makes me doubt that truth even if it's just a little. So how did you know there was a virus?" The guardian stood there in silence for a moment before taking a deep breath "ok I'll tell you but don't mention this to the others, I don't think they would understand. It came to me in a dream, a white tubby with weird fur told me."

Po was confused "and you believed it?" the guardian became embarrassed at how ridiculous something like that would be. Po gave a simple smile, walked up, and hugged the guardian "well whatever the reason that dream came to you am glad it did" the guardian returned the hug, "thanks for listening Po".

Tinky stood there in line as a recruit to the military. Rows of tubbies were waiting for a sergeant to walk in. Tinky stood for a good bit before becoming irritated. "How long are they going to take?" whispered Tinky winky under his breath. "I know right now they have been late for days now".

Tinky turned to his left to see a tubby pink and smiling, "hey my name is Rose, and you?" she put out her hand waiting for Tinky winky to shake it. "Name is Tinky" Tinky winky shook the fellow recruit's hand. "Haven't seen you during lunch, ya new here?" said rose. "Yeah, I just got here the other day but am starting my training today".

"I see well our sergeant may not be able to keep track of time but he is ruthless. Stay on your feet k?" The smile from Rose made Tinky feel different from just the normal smile his friends gave. "Alright maggots are not going to apologize for being late, instead you're going to be thanking me cause the number of cycles we do, push-ups burpees, etc, will be cut in half".

The sergeant walked up to Tinky examining him "you maggot tell me what's your purpose for joining this corp?" Tinky was quick to spit out a response "I left my friend to save my other 4, I did it because I wasn't strong enough to save all four. I joined in to never fail to protect my loved ones sir" the sergeant was satisfied with his response "if you truly mean that then you should wipe those red checks" the sergeant walked away to examine the rest.

Tinky heard giggling and Turned to see Rose holding in her laughter, making Tinky feel even weirder. Dipsy was running around exploring the base, making "ooh" and "aah" along the way. Somehow, Dipsy got into one of the armories and started fiddling with the guns and other stuff. Dipsy got to a rocket launcher and was about to set it off when a voice stopped him. "Whoa kid, watch it! You'll blow us up to bits!" Dipsy turned to see an orange tubby with a gun holster and a baseball cap on. "Who are you?" said Dipsy in awe. "Well, I am what you call a sharpshooter. I can hit things far away with my trusty gun," the tubby flipped out a handheld gun and promptly put it back. "Am Hooter 43, but you can just call me Gus." Dipsy knew the moment that Gus walked into his life, he was going to teach him all kinds of things. "Am Dipsy. Can you teach me what you know?" Gus thought about it long and hard. "Sure, why not? Let's go shoot some targets, kid."

Following Gus, Dipsy knew that he was going to have the time of his life. Making their way to an outside range, Gus handed Dipsy a paint gun. "Uh, Gus, this looks different from everything else." Gus laughed and set up the targets. "Of course, I wouldn't give you a gun, kid. Besides, paint guns have been used to test the accuracy of us here instead of wasting ammo." Dipsy held down the trigger, and a paintball came out, hitting the target head-on. "Wow, kid, you have accuracy as sharp as me! Wasn't even aiming for that." All afternoon, Gus tested out Dipsy's accuracy. "Wow, I can't wait to practice with the real thing." Gus stopped setting up the targets. "Well, you sure got a knack for a paint gun, but the real thing is much heavier. Come, let's get some dinner. Us sharpshooters get all the good lunch that the rookies get without the punishments, ha."

Dipsy put down the paint gun to walk with Gus. "So, am I a sharpshooter now?!" Dipsy was beaming. "One in training, kid. You got the skill and the want, but you gotta learn patience." Dipsy and Gus walked into the military section and went into the lunchroom. Gus walked up to the server. "Hey Mindy, two please, one for me, and the other for the green pupil." Mindy handed them two trays of bacon and eggs. "See, now we can leave, or we can sit down and see what the rookies talk about." Dipsy looked at Gus like a kid sees Christmas, and they went to sit down with the rookies. "Heya, rookies, I got me a student, so treat him like you treat me, okay?" They sat down and started eating. Dipsy was having the time of his life, eating good food, and talking with military rookies.

Dipsy was too busy; he didn't notice two people sitting to his left. "I can't believe you got so red. I wonder what I did. It was so funny too." "Wasn't that funny?" "Was too." Dipsy was enjoying his food and turned to Gus. "Hey, Gus." Gus was scooping food off mashed potatoes from other trays. "Yeah, kid?" Dipsy was getting ready to question when he heard a
